Arrivals into England from Qatar will be required to self-isolate at a government-appointed quarantine facility for 10 days at their own expense.
They will also have to test negative for Covid-19 prior to their departure, and take tests on day two and day eight of their self-isolation.
The new rules will apply to all arrivals, including British, Irish and third-country nationals with residence rights, as well as long-term visa holders.
They will also extend to arrivals into England from three other countries – Ethiopia, Oman and Somalia – and any arrivals who have transited through any of the four countries.
